• Rumination increases anxiety and depression levels, and perpetuates itself by the client believing that by ruminating, he or she is “doing something.” In this workshop, we’ll explore rumination and its negative effects, highlight the relationship between rumination and global cognition, and emphasize the importance of developing good discrimination skills. We’ll also consider the role of experiential processes such as hypnosis and mindfulness in treatment didactically as well as with a guided group experience.
• Educational Objectives: To identify three ways rumination works against anxious and depressed clients.
• Identify the role of global cognition in perpetuating rumination.
• Demonstrate a technique of focusing to help encourage a mental “quieting.” *Sessions may be edited for content and to preserve confidentiality* Faculty Scott Miller, PhD Related seminars and products: 77 Scott D.
